[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8648949, member: 650438"] horrible idea. What you need is a quality midbass driver and proper installation, sound deadening, acoustical treatments to turn your car door into an ideal enclosure preventing rear waves from meeting front waves which in turn gets you that massive midbass thump in the chest you are looking for. Along with a lot of amplifier power as well. Your rasberry pi is with that dac is useless because your head unit only puts out at best 24 bit/ 48khz sampling and especially if you plan on using an aux cord which is the worst kind of garbage sound quality source you can think of in car audio, 2nd only to FM/am radio. aptx or Bluetooth verson 4.0 or higher is actually a more proper means of getting a good strong digital signal to the head unit to process along with lossless files on USB. You want as little things in the signal line as possible that re-processes the signal over and over, its a recipe for system noise. That real guitar sound is from a good install and good tune with a good head unit. Head unit makes all the difference in sound as in right off the bat and final product after tuning, you'll feel a massive difference from a cheap to mid end head unit vs a higher end SQ oriented head unit. aka 24 bit dac, 13 band or higher EQ, time alignment, Network mode, 4 volt or higher pre-outs. As a fellow metal listener, myself, I cant stress you enough how important soundstage is aka the feel of a live studio concert in your car where you can literally see where each instrument is on the dash board through hearing. If the singer walks left or right, you'll hear it. When you have those 8s in the back like that, you completely and utterly destroy any chance of having good soundstage. [/QUOTE]
